big food little food what to give ?

My mother hen and her chicks, are in with all the other chickens. I put chick feed out for the chicks, but mother hen wants layer feed. If I give her it, the two-day-old babies want it too.
Should I let them have it? I feel its too big for them, and they may choke?,

but momma wants big food. I even put it up high, just for her. But she takes a pieces down and gave it to the chicks.

If your mama hen just hatched chicks, she is not laying now, correct? In that case, she does not need the layer feed so will be fine eating chick feed. The chicks shouldn't eat the layer feed due to the calcium content in it. I would take out the layer pellets and just provide chick feed for all of them.
